Presentations and fun with Haiku Deck

Many times we are required to prepare presentations for school or for work. But let’s face it. Our presentations are often an edited copy of an older presentation with images that many in our audience may have already seen or pure B.O.R.I.N.G text that has everybody yawning and wondering when it is going to end?!

I learned in school that a good presentation has to be creative, contain cool images and of course deliver the message. Preparing a nice one usually takes a lot of time, which in general we do not have.

There is a cool App on the iPad that allows us to prepare creative, fun, and professional looking presentations and best of all, the App is Free!

Applicable to:
iPad versions: iPad 2, the New iPad, iPad mini, iPad with Retina Display
iOS versions: iOS 5, iOS 6 and up

I discovered Haiku Deck a few weeks ago, although the App has been around for a while now. The App is very intuitive and easy to use.

Before you continue make sure your iPad is connected to the Internet.

No presentation is complete without a nice chart. Add a bar or pie chart and adjust it tapping with your fingers.

Need a new look? No problem. There are different themes available that you can use to change your presentation look and feel. Some themes are included in the App for free, others can be downloaded but cost a fee.
